MEDVEDEV'S PLANS FOR MILITARY REARMAMENT
Russia moves to lock in advantages during their time of prosperity due to being flush with oil wealth.
"Last week Medvedev proceeded by announcing a short and clear defense doctrine in line with the foreign policy one. The defense doctrine also came in five principles. First, the organizational structure and deployment of troops would be enhanced. All combat units had to achieve "permanent readiness status" by 2020. Second, the efficiency of command and control systems in the Armed Forces would be improved. Without this, "it is impossible to count on success in today's wars and other armed conflicts." Third, the system of military education and personnel training would be modernized. Fourth, procuring the most modern weapons was a "high priority." Russia needed "fundamentally new, high-technology weapons." Fifth, military pay would increase, housing would improve, and the social problems of the Armed forces would be addressed."
